What is Goldfish?

Goldfish is a lightweight AI assistant that lives on your Mac and remembers your recent work across apps. Instead of requiring you to paste context or explain your situation from scratch, Goldfish quietly builds a private memory of what you’ve been doing. Press the Option key in any text field, and it helps you draft replies, summarize threads, rewrite sentences, or recall important details — all without copying, pasting, or re-explaining the backstory.

Who it's for

• Busy professionals who juggle multiple conversations and need to respond quickly without losing context.
• Remote workers who switch between Slack, email, and docs and want consistent tone and recall across apps.
• Writers and communicators who spend too much time rephrasing or searching for past information.

Key features

Private on-device memory

Goldfish stores your recent activity locally on your Mac. It learns what you’ve been working on without sending your data to the cloud, so your context stays private and under your control.

One-click contextual replies

Press the Option key in any text field to instantly generate a reply that matches your tone and incorporates relevant details from your recent work. No more copying and pasting or explaining the same background twice.

Cross-app support

Goldfish works anywhere you type — email clients, messaging apps, documents, and more. It follows you across applications, so you never lose momentum when switching between tools.

Free during alpha

Goldfish is currently available at no cost while it’s in alpha. You can download it for macOS or Windows and start using it immediately.

What stands out

“A little memory that lives on your Mac — so you never have to explain yourself twice.”

Most AI tools treat every interaction as a blank slate. Goldfish flips that by quietly remembering what you’ve been doing across your entire workflow. Instead of asking you to paste context or re-state your situation, it already knows. That shift from “explain everything” to “just press Option” makes it feel less like a chatbot and more like an extension of your own thinking.

Worth checking out if…

You spend a lot of time in text-based communication and wish your AI assistant already knew what you were talking about. Goldfish is especially useful if you value privacy, hate repeating yourself, or want to speed up replies without sacrificing tone or accuracy.
